An Introduction from John 

Hello there, and welcome to my website! I sincerely hope you enjoy exploring the artwork I created here in oil paint. Most of my art is inspired by my personal experiences of the world as I see it. I strive to create enough detail in my work to bring it to life while maintaining a painterly quality. I'm a Manchester, UK-based artist with an early career as a high-quality flexographic printer, where matching colour was essential in my everyday work life and has provided a solid foundation for the artwork I produce today. My inspiration to capture the landscapes, seascapes and other subjects around the UK and beyond comes from my love of outdoor life and a passion for creating art that evokes emotion. Bringing a landscape scene to life in rich colour with fine detail is what I love, and if I can share that view with the same emotion I feel, then that is very special to me. I received recognition in landscape painting by winning runner-up in 'Art Show International 2022.' I've also been fortunate enough to exhibit my work in a number of galleries, including D31 Doncaster, Saul Hay Manchester, Goose Green Altrincham, and Mall Galleries London with the Royal Society of British Artists.

D31 Gallery Summer Exhibition

Having missed the artist launch party while in Rhodes, it was great to get the opportunity to see the gallery set up for the exhibition at first hand at the public launch.


Meeting Chinwe Russell, Laura Lee and the rest of the gallery team was inspiring, not to mention having some very interesting conversations with talented and diverse artists like London based Ekaterina Adelskaya. Three of my works were on display during the exhibition in Doncaster. Both of the original paintings seen in the photo have now sold.

Award winning painting

I was delighted to come runner up in the
'Art show International' Landscape competition for 'Samuel's Mill' Although once a little sceptical of art competitions as being subjective, I think my attitude might be changing towards them as I have started to believe it helps to build self confidence as an artist 

My Grandad loved your print. I gave it him today after getting it framed for Father's Day. He cried. He was made up. So thank you for creating such a special painting.

Now that's service for you! Got it, it's lovely, thanks so much.
